[Asterisk-Users] Simulating the "lighted line in use" type of phone

[Craig]

I have a similar situation,

I have an office with 4 lines that are answered in different names and
wanted to give users the option to see the status of each line etc.

I have some cisco  vip30 with the select buttons and appropriate leds, I
was going to set these up on a * box and see how developed the skinny
driver is as far as making these buttons/leds let the users select
particular lines and indicate status.

The lines are mainly analogue on x100 cards

Maybe somebody has already worked on this and can give some guidance.

The hardware looks like it  will do the job, the only question is if we
can hack the software to do what we want.

I'd like to see if anyone out there might have some ideas on this.

I have a customer who wants to move to VoIP, but who has an office full 
of people who are very conservative about their telephones.

They would like the asterisk system that I am proposing to have 
something analogous to what they have right now, which are plain 4-line 
analog phones with a light showing any lines in use, and a button 
beneath that they press to choose an outbound line.

Before I tell them that this is a silly retrograde behavior I thought 
I'd check first to see how others of you out there might handle this 
same desideratum.

Thanks in advance.
